Pila IBC vs i4 intellicharge?

[HighLumens]

Hi guys,
I searched some info on both of them but what I found is way too complicated for me to understand which one is better for an average user like me.

I'd like a simple answer to a (perhaps) difficult question: which one is better? I like the Intellicharge because of its ability to charge both Ni-Mh and Li-ion batteries, but tha Pila costs about twice as much as the Intellicharge, does it have anything special that the Intellicharge does not?

Thank you for your help.

There's HKJ's review of the Nitecore/SysMax i4.

Seems to be a bit better with the Li-Ions, than it is with NiMHs, but since you're in Italy, you won't have any of the '110vac issues' that people have had here in the US.

The Pila is the Rolls-Royce of Li-Ions consumer chargers, but it doesn't do your NiMH batteries any good.

I went a different route, but spent a good deal more than you seem like you want to spend, but I feel that I have all of my bases covered.

Try the i4 and see what you see? You won't be out too much money and I don't think that it will ruin your NiMH batteries.
